So I am watching a video of the Triumph of Orthodoxy in Russia and suddently, they cut to a scene, showing this lonely catholic cardinal, looking completely lost while trying to figure out whether he should cross himself or not. I felt sorry for him.

Today I ate at Wendy's for the first time in months. The results were less than desirable.

Blasphemy. Wendy's is the GREATEST fastfood chain there is. McDonalds is garbage. Wendy's is the best though. Their chicken nuggets and Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers are virtually unmatched. Plus, it's cheap. It's the only fastfood place that can feed my entire family for only $20.

Garbage food is like that.

Get away from it for a while and it tastes like what it is.

Give a solid week and you'll believe it is tasty again.

Because of Lent, and not having the time to go out, I've actually enjoyed eating little meals from home the past few days. Had a peanut butter sandwich. It was all right. Noodles the other day. Not so bad, either. Kind of a breath of fresh air, food-wise.

I googled the above internet play on the German language and I came across a rather tasteless version, but one which one cannot think as an English speaker when living in Southern Germany and much more Austria:

I would wager I saw this very sign nearly everyday for some years. And it never struck me as not completely insane. Especially given the absolute lack of Jews in the area.

We owe greater gratitude to those who humble us, wrong us, and douse us with venom, than to those who nurse us with honour and sweet words, or feed us with tasty food and confections, for bile is the best medicine for our soul. - Elder Paisios of Mount Athos

Chilling.

Sorry for ruining the fun.

I didn't think they did that anymore???

Gasse is the German word for alley or lane.

Ah, hence PanMichal's "wrong on so many levels".

Wife: Hey, hon, where's the nearest bank? Husband: There's a couple down on Jew Lane!Wife: OK, I've told you before, that joke's not funny.Husband: What, you gonna divorce me? Need a lawyer? I bet you can find one on...Jew Lane![door slams]

Nobody dares make fun of me when I'm present after an incident involving hot soup and someone's neck

But why were you called the Jew?

It's a funny story, actually. We had a school project and my group was supposed to make a slideshow about the Viking Age. Some friends of my family spent much of their spare time, going to viking markets, so they had a bunch of thing which I thought might be good to add some entertainment to the presentation. The viking clothes, they had given me included a farmer's hat which happened to look like a yarmulke.

These days, I'm called a gypsy. That's what you get for sharing your family history.
